B Question regarding waves

Every moving object has a wave associated with it. If a electron is moving with a speed v we can use ##\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}## to calculate the wavelength of the associated wave and thus the frequency can be calculated. This frequency denotes some kind of oscillation. So what is oscillating here?

The "electron field" is oscillating. I am not talking about the electrostatic field produced by the electron due to its charge or the electromagnetic field due to the movement of electron, but about the quantum fermionic field of which electron is a quantum of energy. According to quantum field theory every particle has an associated field of which the particle is a quanta of energy of that field.

Are you talking about excitation of field?
i.e. If the "Electron Field" is excited at a particular position an electron is created?
Does the field actually moves or just the magnitude changes? What is the unit of its magnitude?
If electron is stationary the field will not oscillate and if it is given some kinetic energy the field oscillates.Where this oscillation occurs?How it occurs?

Its a left over from the outdated ideas of early quantum theory that was consigned to the dustbin of history during 1925/1926, but most certainly by 1926 when Dirac came up with his transformation theory that pretty much goes by the name of QM today:http://www.lajpe.org/may08/09_Carlos_Madrid.pdf
